Camper pad

Finished the pad for storing the camper at home, designed it so I could not only store it but set it up and mess around with stuff.

I like the way it doesn't show the sweat it took to make.

Real nice job. I'd like to do that, but I got about 6' of snow in my yard!

I read the By-Laws for the sub-division.... No Campers parked beside or in front of the house.... Just kidding. Looks really nice, but.... what do your neighbors think?

No worries with neighbors, I parked it there when we first got it, they came over and we gave them the tour. They said fits nice right here for storing, we agreed.

WOW now that's nice. I got to get off this forum, so many great projects, but with a price. Now I want to use paving bricks to do the whole inside of my new 24 x 40 RV-port.

If you have HOA most have "behind the house" free areas. Looks great and make sure you are happy. Neighbors are great but not always objective. I want to build the same pad now that I have seen yours. Thanks.

Been wanting to do this but with pouring a concrete slab. The bricks look great, but I did a brick patio (myself) at the last home I owned, and I promised myself "never again!" Too much freezing and thawing, really beats it up after a few years. Yours looks great, I hope it holds up better than my patio did!

I want to pour a slab or do this but looking at moving in the next year so why spend the time and money on this house. Hopefully next house or it will have an pole barn then I can do mods during the winter

I made an area with stone to park it on. The bricks looks so much better but I was looking for something easier to install.

Looks great and you did a wonderful job.

Just make sure you park the wheels on wood or the pvc deck boards.
